    Default Magnetic glass cleaners

    Are there better glass cleaners than others, I have tried a few, cheap ones, but they don't seem to work so well, Any suggestions

    well we all have our own views with glass magnetic cleaners, personally id not use 1 at all, i have had sand get under the magnet and scratch the glass to bits, i usually put my hand in the tank daily and use a sponge to wip the glass, even if no algae is visible.
    Kind Regards MIKE
